From the team behind 2015's wiIdIy successfuI adaptation of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None comes "a dark, perfectly contemporary morality taIe" (The Daily Telegraph, UK) set in 1920s London.
When glamorous Emily French (Kim CattraII, Sex and the City) is brutalIy murdered in her home, aIl the evidence points to French's young Iover, Leonard Vole (BiIIy Howle, On Chesil Beach), to whom the heiress Ieft her fortune. Ms. French's
devoted housekeeper (Monica DoIan, The Casual Vacancy) procIaims Leonard's guilt, but Leonard insists that his wife, enigmatic chorus girI Romaine (Andrea Riseborough, Bloodline, Birdman), can prove his innocence. As the scandalous crime goes to trial, soIicitor John Mayhew (Toby Jones, Detectorists) finds that the case may be his undoing.
PIayed to perfection by an illustrious cast, this "brilIiantIy twisted" (Daily
Express, UK) drama shows that "Christie stilI has the power to give us
goosebumps" (Metro, UK). |
